Every project has a specified budget, time and goal. But how do we maintain all three and inform all stakeholders about the updates? With a proper product roadmap.
A product roadmap is a shared source of truth that outlines a project's vision, direction, priorities, and progress over time. It's a plan of action that aligns the organisation around short and long-term goals and tasks for the product or project.
A properly done product roadmap defines all dependencies within and outside the team. Thanks to that, you can visualise, plan, and track your tasks and inform stakeholders about the project updates. Need more details? Here they are:
Visualising and planning work and tasks
A product roadmap visually represents a product's strategic direction and priorities. It facilitates clear communication and informed decision-making. Also, it helps teams prioritise tasks, ensuring that resources are directed toward the most important business goals.
Tracking and managing work
The roadmap assigns responsibilities and allows for monitoring progress, promoting accountability and timely delivery of tasks. It helps allocate resources effectively and identify potential bottlenecks or deviations from the plan.
Communicating updates
Sharing the roadmap with stakeholders fosters transparency and manages expectations regarding product development. It adapts to changes and maintains alignment among all parties by communicating updates and adjustments.
A product roadmap is an essential element of a successful project, so it should be prepared in line with industry standards. At Flying Bisons, we follow these three simple steps:
We make the roadmap as flexible as possible. Even the best planners can't always predict when the landscape will change. So, we are always ready to re-prioritise.
Although many tools are designed for managing product roadmap, we pick one that's most suitable for the project. It doesn't have to be fancy. It has to work for the team.
And we’re flexible.
Depending on the project, we make roadmaps in dedicated tools and in ones already in our client's use - like Jira, Trello, Excel, or Google Spreadsheets.
To make a product map work, it must be updated regularly. It helps our stakeholders stay up to date with the project's progress, monitor it, and plan our cooperation daily.
